Dr Arthur Broomfield has launched Ireland Calling, a new book of poems of special interest to Irish people residing in Canada. The collection is written in ballad form and recalls stories, characters and events – some humorous, some sad – that will evoke nostalgic memories of Ireland’s past. Love for his subject, for the Irish characters, stories and landscape, is the inspiration that drives Broomfield’s work.
 
Also, among the admires of Ireland Calling, is Maureen Culleton, the internationally acclaimed promoter of Irish culture, founder of Sean Cistin, Ballyfin, County Laois and frequent visitor to the United States. She writes;
‘Arthur,a chara. Míle comhghairdeas as ucht na dánta stairiúla,suimiúla a chum tú agus atá foilsithe sa bhailiúchán. Seo Ireland Calling. Go néireoidh go geal leat.’
(Arthur, A thousand congratulations because of the historical, interesting poems you composed and published in Ireland Calling. May you enjoy great success).
This is Broomfield’s eighth work, not to be missed. Copies signed by the author.
